My video can't handle most modes, so it lags unless I put the camera directly over my character's head... a let down, but I know the game would be cool if I could PLAY IT. Le sigh. Only outer problems, though.
Great Game

This game is huge!! It is difficult to be an uber anything as well. I like that because it stays challenging...

Its a neat concept but the execution is boring. You only meet people in towns, the rest of the time youre on your own (or with a partner or two). You have to stroll through towns which are enhanced chat rooms where noobs cry for help and embark on boring missions. Get World of Warcraft instead. Its worth the money cuz its actually fun to play and where you can actually interact with more people.
You have to at least try it

You have to try this game to see what it is all about. Don't take our word for it, make up your own mind.
fun for a while... then CRASH!

I bought the game with great expecations, and it lived up to them.... however, once I got about 1/3 the way into it... My computer crashed and restarted at the exact same point in a level. Drivers are up to date, neither my cpu nor vid card are getting hot. Apparently this is only a problem with some people, and the makers arent doing anything about it. Kinda like the awful netcode for command and conquer generals... an awesome game.. but crappy customer service.
How can ppl say this junk is better than WoW...

The game is horrible. There's not really alot to do, they shove everything right in your face and make everything WAY too easy. If you're going to make an MMO game that is free, atleast make it GOOD.

I haven't had much time to play this game.
The scenery is beautiful but I think there could be more instructions for beginners.
Boring

This game has great graphics, but it's very limited in functionality. A game that makes a fantasy world feel limited. That kind of says you're putting a limit on imagination. I'd say, try it out first from someone who may have it before you buy it because the person who used to live here in my room, a previous tenant, I heard from my roommates played the game a lot, so I guess he liked it.
BUYER BEWARE!!

Do not purchase this game,you will be dissapointed. The manufacturer of this game is CONSTANTLY changeing the abilities of characters and strategy of play. For example,you may aquire an item or skill for your character,after MANY HOURS of play,just to find that skill has been significantly changed,(weakened) the day after you aquired it. Basically,the company is in what appears to be a constant state of "UPDATEING". Unfortunately,the updates consistantly make your characters weaker,and the game "monsters" stronger. The company calls it "skill Balanceing"..LOL..what a joke. NOT FUN. pick up a copy of diablo 2 or any other online game if your lookin for fun. This game is about as much fun as playin chess,and about as exciting as chess.OH,by the way,u "must" play this game online,there is no other way to play it. no stand alone version. and u must play as part of a group,u will die rather quickly trying to play solo.
Keep your kids and spouse away!

I played Guild Wars at beta and i thouroughly enjoyed it the game is great but th e people...are not. In ascalon pre searing many people can be found simulating orgies hetero and homosexual activities are visually represented at times people solicityou asking you to take your chars clothes off and Join in. It is decripid. Dark Age of Camelot is a much more developed game and is family friendly. If DAOC isnt your type of game then EVE online or even World of Warcraft is better. I know the monthly fee is bad but its worth it DONT GET GUILDWARS.
